DOOM: The Dark Ages is almost here, and if you want to jump in the second it drops, knowing when and how to preload the game is key. Plus, the file size is pretty hefty, so clearing space ahead of time will save you from last-minute panic. Let’s break down what you need to know to prepare for the Doomslayer’s return.

When Can You Preload DOOM: The Dark Ages?

You can preload DOOM: The Dark Ages 24 hours before launch. The exact launch time depends on your region, so watch your platform’s store. Xbox users have already spotted the preload option appearing in the final day before release, and PlayStation and PC will likely follow the same pattern.

Check out this tweet from X user Pizza Pit showing the Xbox preload screen:

How to Preload DOOM: The Dark Ages

Preloading requires a digital purchase of the game. Physical copies won’t let you preload since you usually get the disc on release day, and if you get it early, you can just start playing right away.

Here’s the quick rundown for digital preloading:

    1. Pick your platform: PlayStation, Xbox, or PC.
  1. Buy DOOM: The Dark Ages digitally from the platform’s store.
  2. Look for the preload option close to the release date.
  3. Hit download as soon as it’s available.
  4. Once downloaded, you’re will play the moment the game launches.

DOOM: The Dark Ages File Size Explained

The game demands a lot of space. On PS5, it’s about 85 GB, while Xbox and PC versions might need up to 100 GB. X user Corey Cooper shared that the PS5 version clocks in at 84.3 GB.

Even if you buy a physical disc, you’ll still have to download most of the game. Steam and Microsoft Store don’t have exact numbers yet, but expect to clear around 100 GB just to be safe.

One of our lovely Patreon Supporters got their hands on a copy of DOOM: The Dark Ages PS5 early.

Just a 85 MB stub and a blocker to go online and update.
